Bebop Spoken There

More from Jazz Monthly:

Jack Cooke: "...neither Giuffre nor Jim Hall are even adequate jazz musicians, they are technically limited, and more importantly, seem unable to improvise logically" - (Review of a JATP concert. Jazz Monthly May 1960)

Bill Evans: "A composer writes something, and an orchestra interprets it--he spends maybe six months writing 10 minutes of music, but a jazz musician spends 10 minutes of playing 10 minutes of music, and he performs it himself". - (Jazz Monthly July1960).

Big Band Sunday

Just watched NYJO on Sky Arts 2. They gave a cracking performance of Xmas tunes - as befits a program entitled Cool Yule! The show was compèred by Clare Teal who sung a splendid version of What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? 
This set the mood perfectly for this afternoon's performance by the Strictly Smokin' Big Band at Hoochie Coochie.
SSBB for this gig have FIVE singers! Including Paul Skerritt. There's also plenty of space at the Pilgrim St. venue to trip the light fantastic so put on your dancing shoes and those listening ears and have a ball. It's only £7 and stomp off is at 5pm.

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
